The '''1st Company''' of the [[Howling Griffons]] comprises the Chapter's most veteran warriors.
==Notable Battles==
[[Image:Xaran.png|thumb|right|150px|[[Terminator]] [[Xaran]]{{Fn|4}}]]*'''220.[[M38]]:''' [[Arios Point Ambush. ]] — The Howling Griffons were ambushed by then -[[Chaos Lord ]] [[Periclitor ]] on their return to [[Mancora]]. the ambush led to the death of [[Chapter Master ]] [[Orlando Furioso ]] (see Orlando Furioso, below) as well as most of their 1st and [[8th Company (Howling Griffons)|8th]] Companies{{Fn|4}}. This has sparked a long standing feud between the [[Word Bearers]] and the Howling Griffons.{{Fn|4}}
*'''905-906.[[M41]]:''' Shortly before the [[Badab War]] the Howling Griffons [[4th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Fourth]] along with parts of their [[6th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Sixth]], [[7th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Seventh]], [[10th Company, Howling Griffons Chapter|Tenth]], and First Companies carried out a lengthy search and destroy campaign within the [[Caradryad Sector]]. It can be safely assumed that a large number of planetary assaults were carried out during this action as they were severely lacking in [[Thunderhawk]]s and [[drop pods]] when answering the call for aid in the [[Badab War]] as they had not had the chance to return to [[Mancora]].{{Fn|4}}
*'''906-909.[[M41]]:''' [[Badab War]]. The Howling Griffons, along with the [[Novamarines]], responded to calls for aid. Having just finished a campaign in the [[Caradryad Sector]], the Howling Griffons' task force was no more than 250 Space Marines and had insufficient planetary assault resources to aid in front line assaults. As a result, their initial engagements were to carry out garrison duties or convoy protection. Their largest deployment was to garrison the airless moons in the [[Khymara]] system, rebuilding old listening posts as staging areas for later in the war. Unfortunately this posting put them in the path of the [[Executioners]] in 907.M41{{Fn|12}} who were coming to aid the Secessionists as part of their blood oath to Huron. The Howling Griffons were annihilated; after the [[Executioners]] ' withdrawal, the casualty rate was more than 70%, including the catastrophic loss of their strike cruiser, ''[[Augeias]]'', and [[Chaplain Dreadnought]] [[Armand Titus|Titus]]. Despite these losses, the remaining force continued to fight wherever they could until officially relieved in 909.[[M41]]{{Fn|4}}
*'''???.[[M41]]:''' The Howling Griffons under [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Xerxes]] took part in the [[Crusade of Fire (War)|Crusade of Fire]].{{Fn|5}}
*'''998.[[M41]]:''' [[13th Black Crusade]]. the Howling Griffons sent 8 Companies to participate in The [[Eye of Terror Campaign]].{{Fn|1}} The 1st Company of the Howling Griffons including [[Chapter Master]] [[Alvaro]], where were based on the [[Battle Barge|battle-barge ]] ''[[Force of Destiny]]'' and engaged upon a mission to track down and persecute a company of [[Night Lords]] under the command of the infamous [[Daemon Prince ]] [[Periclitor]].{{Fn|3}}
